I just want to make a big ole bowl of this and swim around in it. :-) I had never made un canned, un store bought frosting. I used this as a crumb coating on a cake I'll be putting fondant on later. I was dipping bananas into the bowl before it was all over. YUM YUM YUM

Like a previous reviewer, I substituted the cocoa powder with melted chocolate. This frosting hardens quickly, so if you want to add sprinkles, shake them on right away.

Loved it! I did melt an oz of baking chocolate, increased milk a touch for spreadibility and threw in some extra cocoa powder. I licked my food processor clean! Well, except for the blade, but i did use my finger on that. Frosting held up nicely and was great the next day.

I followed the recipe exactly, but felt like the frosting tunred out not well for me. The consistency was too goopey, and the flavor was not something I would waste calories on!

I just wanted a good chocolate frosting recipe to pair with some graham crackers, a fun treat. This was an easy, very yummy frosting. For the sweet tooths out there, this is perfect. For those of you who don't like things that are very sweet, I would recommend finding a different recipe. The powdered sugar and butter shine in this recipe to create something rich. This frosting seems so versitle (sp?). I hope to make this again! I really liked this recipe. Oh, and the other great thing about it was that I didn't need to pull out my mixing machine to deal with this. I only made 3 servings and I just used a fork. This was a very easy, quick, and yummy recipe!

I doubled this recipe for frosting a 9" 2-layer cake. Amount of frosting was perfect for the cake. I added a little more milk for ease of spreading, but icing held up well. I loved the way it hardened ever so slightly - it will be perfect frosting for cupcakes or cookies (gooey frosting on cupcakes just won't work for me!)

Butter cream isnt quite my taste, but I made it for my step dad and he deemed it "good" which is high praise from him indeed. Pretty easy to work with.

Easy to make. Flavor was a little light. I added a little extra milk, which made it creamier. It stayed creamy even after several hours.

Great starting point, but not chocolaty enough. I ended up adding ~1 more tbs cocoa powder and melted down some dark chocolate with milk and added that to get a better chocolate flavor. Great for cakes, spreads nicely.

I used this on the Dark Chocolate Cake I recipe from this site. The frosting was very good! The only thing was that I think it needed a bit more milk to start with (maybe 1/2 tbsp more) because it started drying as I was icing the cake. I know it says to add more milk as needed, but I think initially if you start with a bit more milk and add more from that it would be more spreadable. A very tasty frosting though and I will definitely be using it again! Thanks!

Easy to make with items in my pantry, not too sweet or rich but light and fluffy. I love it. My daughter requested it as frosting on her birthday cake!
